Rebels Seize Army Base

By: Brionna Givens

The UN and the African Union peacekeeping forces have said rebels have taken over the army base at Kornoi, located in Sudan, which is near the Darfur region. The rebel group who is believed to have seized the base is known as "JEM"(Justice and Equality Movement). Peace talks between Sudan and the rebel group "JEM" start on Wednesday in Qatar. Both Chad and Sudan have been accusing each other government of supporting the rebel groups in their territories.
